I am a recovering builder, I was chair of the Northern Colorado Energy Society and am founder of Passive House Rocky Mountains, former and future mediator, and have spent innumerable hours attempting to weave the big picture of energy, materials and aesthetics with the particulars of building science, materiality, and visual arts and architecture.

Building is about investigating– what it means to live lightly and well on an inherited Earth. No building project is done in a vacuum. I work with talented teams to develop robust and elegant design solutions for low impact buildings and spread the word about them.

I believe the best way to change the construction industry is design and build well beyond what is considered possible, and let the industry respond.
